Is this Supposed to be Impressive?

Earlier today a frenchmin by the name of Robert Marchand set a new world record for a furthest distance traveled on a bike in an hour.

Robert Marchand the new world record holder for furthest distance traveled on a bike in one hour.

Wow.

Let's take a look at this stud, he must be drowning in pussy. Bikes are big in France, I think.

Did I forget to mention, he holds the record for furthest distance traveled on a bike for riders over the age of 105.

Robert Marchand is 105 year old Frenchmin cyclist.

Robert Marchand has clocked up 105 years and now a new record for the furthest distance cycled in one hour.

The French cyclist managed 22.547km (14 miles) at the national velodrome, taking the top spot in a new category - for riders over 105.

Mr Marchand already holds the record for those aged over 100 - 26.927km - set in 2012.

He "could have done better", he says, but missed a sign showing 10 minutes to go.

"My legs didn't hurt," he told BFMTV. "My arms hurt but that's because of rheumatism."

To be fair, he had admitted before the event at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome near Paris that breaking his previous hour record would be tough.

Are we really supposed to be impressed?

This dude literally is just doing things people his age don't care/want/think to do. If I really wanted to, I could become the dude who swallows the most dimes in one hour, for swallowers over the age of 25. I don't care, I'll move myself into a bracket of highly skilled swallowers. I would just be doing something no one else even near my age wants to do. 

Towards the end of the article, the writer begins to talk about Marchands life and essentially describe how he is able to stay in shape. Within the details, it is revealed that along with healthy eating practices, Marchand rides his cycling home-trainer for an hour. Not only is this guy stealing records that don't exist, all he's done to prep for such a grueling challenge is simply doing it every night for the past 20 years at least. 

Be less original bro, seriously. How about challenge yourself? What ever happened to pushing the boundaries? Be a better everyday? I guess we should all strive for mediocrity and fall in love with bore ring routines. Fuck that, fuck this guy, fuck cycling, and fuck France.
